Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Assignment:

Read chapter 1 of The CAFÉ Book.

Read the article below by Richard Stiggins published in Phi Delta Kappan magazine.

While I found the whole article fascinating J, it would be helpful for you to focus on the section titled “A More Powerful Vision” beginning on page 761.

After reading both the book and the article, create a post with the title “Chapter 1” in response to the following questions:

Are the ideas in the CAFÉ book and assessment of or for learning? Why or why not?

Reflect on our current literacy assessments. Do you feel they are assessments of learning or for learning? Explain?

How do you anticipate the CAFÉ book changing your literacy assessment practices?

Be sure to respond to two other posts during the course of the month.
